Solid SUV with No Issues for 7 Years

When Ford bought Land Rover, they drove the brand into the ground. Tata saved Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar from being destroyed by Ford. The second year that Tata took over Land Rover they resurrected the 2012 LR4 and created a solid, well thought-out, well-engineered and PROBLEM-FREE SUV that has served my family well for 75,000+ miles. While many speak about all the problems their LR3 had, they are talking about the pre-Tata buy-out when Ford almost drove 3 brands into the ground. Tata-owned Land Rover has been absolutely solid in our experience.

In Love with LR4!

Authentic SUV impervious to road and weather conditions providing secure, comfortable ride for both driver and payload of either 6 additional passengers with seats up or spacious cargo with seats down. The 2016 is our 5th successive LR purchase/lease in USA following my wife's early childhood addiction to the LR Defender acquired while traveling through Asia.

My favorite SUV ever

RFK , 02/09/2021

I bought my 2012 LR4 HSE used with over 75,000 miles on it, three years ago, and haven't had a single problem with it. Engine? Purrs like a kitten and moves the LR4 like a cheetah. Transmission? Air suspension? No problems. The CarFax showed that the water pump was replaced three times by the dealer, so I assumed the water pump issue was resolved for this car. It was, and I have not had a problem with anything else on this vehicle. I chose the 2012 model because it was among the last to have a V8, before Land Rover switched to smaller, more complex (and likely to fail) engines. I'm glad I did. The V8 is turbine-smooth, and it moves this heavy, sturdy vehicle like it weighs virtually nothing. The cockpit is beautiful and elegant to look at, instruments and controls are trouble-free, and the seating position is unbeatable. The outer design is timeless and it still looks new. We go to the snow occasionally and it is in its element. My suggestion for long and happy ownership is to find a non-dealer competent mechanic. These are not complex cars and the parts are inexpensive and easy to find. A dealer will take you to the cleaners every time with these older cars. I like the looks of the new Defender but given the reliability of the LR4, its comfort and solid build quality, I'll probably keep it forever.

Reliability with Luxury! 2023 Going Strong

I got the LR4 October 2021 with 103k miles. I had the 100K mile services done and regular oil changes since. I have had 11k trouble free, reliable driving since I have owned the Truck. Smooth and quiet freeway driving. Zippy and quick on city streets. Composed and confident on winding mountain roads. I love driving it! I did my research before purchasing and the 2012 model year has the best reliability rating. October 2023 Update LR4 now at 122K miles! It has continued to run smooth with no issues. I have had only done oil changes every 5-6K miles to minimize timing chain issues. I did personally replace the MAP sensor at 121K as CEL turned on with code P0106. Although the sensor was faulty the LR4 had no noticeable change in driving performance. Joined multiple forums and have learned much on preventative maintenance and repairs for common issues. The LR4 is very user friendly for maintenance and repairs for handy individuals who are not mechanics. I love the LR4! I will keep it until I can no longer drive!
